Sabrina wouldn’t merely ignore the derisive comments anymore.
“What did you all say earlier? Repeat it once more!”
Coming out of the villa, she didn’t head to the garden but stood on the steps. With her arms crossed, she looked down at the housemaids coldly.
The housemaids were just gossiping happily when they suddenly heard that frosty voice. At once, all of their expressions changed.
“M-Ms. Hayes… We didn’t say anything at all. We’re just doing stuff… We’re working…”
“Yes, really… We didn’t say anything.”
They immediately denied having badmouthed her earlier.
Upon seeing that, Sabrina sneered coldly. “I hope so. Otherwise, you’ll all regret having a mouth!”
After saying that, she spun around and strode away.
In truth, that threat of hers was considered gentle. In these past six months, her violent temper had toned down considerably, perhaps because she was nurturing a life within her.
In the past, she would have long since beat up the housemaids.
This time around, she decided to give them another opportunity.
But never did she expect the group of people behind her to actually start whispering about her again right after her back was turned.
“Look at how arrogant she was when she came over to threaten us!”
“She did such a shameful thing, yet she doesn’t allow others to speak of it. I wonder if the Hayeses are simply that kind of people. I heard that her father also messed around in the past.”
“Really?”
Following that, something flew out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa toward the housemaid who started the second round of gossip.
Thud! The object hit the woman squarely in the face.
In a flash, blood spurted everywhere.
And in the blink of an eye, the housemaid collapsed onto the ground without even making a sound or twitching a muscle.
“Ahh!”
When the other housemaids saw that, they covered their mouths and shrieked. At once, chaos reigned in the garden.
Rosie happened to have returned home right at that moment. As soon as she saw the commotion, she instantly went over with her personal housemaid.
She was beyond surprised when she was greeted by an extremely bloody scene—a housemaid had been struck by an ashtray!
